Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif to travel in train

Farah has come up with a unique idea to launch the music of her third film Tees Maar Khan. 

We can understand Farah Khan’s love for means of transportation. She had shown Shahrukh Khan doing stunts pedaling a rickshaw in Main Hoon Na; she made Malaika Arora and SRK to dance on a train top for the song Chaiyan Chaiyan (as choreographer) and then for the Om Shanti Om concluding song she chose an autorickshaw for herself to appear on big screen during credit roll. 

Now, the director along with Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and crew members of Tees Maar Khan will travel in a train from Mumbai to Lonavala to launch the film’s music on Sunday, November 14. Since Tees Maar Khan has a train heist, the director preferred to do it on a train. Farah likes to try out something different. 

What Akshay has to say about this? 

“I am really looking forward to the train journey to Khandala. I will be taking on a train journey after a long time - more than 20 years,” the star was quoted as saying by a tabloid. 

So, getting a train just for the music launch, it must have cost a bomb! Yes, it’s expensive. Farah also has to wait to get permission from the Indian Railway. The whole train will be decorated by the posters of the film. 

On the whole, it’s going to be full on fun for the travelers; the media will also join in!

Why Farah Khan chose Akshay Kumar over Shahrukh Khan?

With Tees Maar Khan, what once seemed impossible has happened. Farah Khan ditched her favourite star Shahrukh Khan and chose Akshay Kumar to play the lovable conman. What prompted her decision? Read on... 

There was a time when Farah Khan said that she can’t imagine working without Shahrukh Khan, with whom she directed two films Main Hoon Naand Om Shanti Om. Then what was the reason she shifted her loyalty? 

“I did say things in that regard and in all honesty, I meant them genuinely as well. However, things changed, circumstances changed and a lot of other things happened that made me go for Akshay,” Farah is quoted as telling a news agency. 

Rumour has it that Farah had a fall out with SRK due to reasons that have not come to light yet. While Farah hasn’t given legitimacy to the rumours, she is, however, not comfortable talking about SRK. 

“Even now, people ask me whether I would be working with Shahrukh again. However, I have learnt to keep my mouth shut. 'Never say never' is the right adage to be used. You never know how circumstances may change tomorrow,” the otherwise straightforward Farah gives a diplomatic reply. 

Meanwhile, Farah says her experience of working with Akshay has been superb and she’s promising a cinematic treat to the movie buffs when Tees Maar Khan releases during Christmas weekend this year.

Salman Khan does ‘Tees Maar Khan’ song for free

When it comes to friends, there’s hardly anyone as big-hearted as Salman Khan. Take the recent case of Tees Maar Khan, when Farah Khan, one of his close friends, wanted him for a special song; he was game. Now, it’s come to light that the star even let go of his fees for it. 

Salman has done the qawwali songWallah Re Wallah for free and it was not just for Farah but also for his dost Akshay Kumar who is the co-producer of the film. 

The song is a qawwali and it also has the female lead of the film Katrina Kaif matching the steps with Sallu and Akki. Both Salman and Kat looked really comfortable with each other during the shoot. In fact, Akki and Sallu kept pulling Katrina’s leg for one reason or the other. 

Overall, it was a fun shoot that continued for two days. Director Farah couldn’t ask for more and co-producer Akshay is happy.
